What π means
π is warmer and more energetic than π or π, and feels like a beaming grin rather than a laugh. It often shows pride, eagerness or playful mischief, as in "I did it" or "guess what I did." Because the teeth are so visible, some people read it as a slightly awkward or toothy grin, close to π¬, especially when it follows bad news or a request. Context decides: after good news it is pure happiness, after "sorry I'm late" it is a sheepish smile. It is friendly and safe in most chats.
In texting
It usually means real happiness or excitement about something good. It can also soften a cheeky request or a small confession.
From a girl or a guy
